Problem

I thought I had managed to get things [mostly] working with the search and indexer - but this morning when I clicked on the Search button in the CCPro UI - I generated the following error message:
2005-04-06 02:35:32 StandardContext[/iw/eventsubsystem]Created InitialContext :: javax.naming.InitialContext@1a5db4b

Anyone have a clue as to what happened?
How to fix it?
How to prevent it from happening again?

Maybe it fixed itself - as I just tried it again and it seems to bring up the UI now - but I'm curious to see if someone can explain what might have caused the above anyway.

Hi Fish

Sorry I don't have a an answer for your search null pointer exception - are you saying that you can't reproduce it?

However I definitely agree that we need a new forum dedicated to search + one dedicated to reports as well.

Cheers
